A Feast for Crows

Brienne finds her way to the Stinking Goose. When Dick entered Brienne immediately offered to buy him some wine for a word. She tells him she heard that he "fooled a fool" and offers him two silver stags for further information. Dick explained to Brienne how he had tricked a frightened fool and had brought him to a place where no ships had landed in thirty years.[1]

Dick tells her the fool wanted passages for three. Brienne wonders if it might be for Arya and Sansa Stark. She then shows him a golden dragon. He reveals that he took the trio to the Whispers in Crackclaw Point. He offers to help Brienne find the fool and those with him for gold. Brienne promises him six gold dragons if they find her "sister".

Brienne and Podrick Payne leave Maidenpool with Dick as their guide. During their travels Brienne is very suspicious of him and he once attempts to search her saddlebags for coin but is thwarted by flour Brienne has placed in them. On the way he regales Pod and Brienne with legends and tales of Crackclaw Point, including that of Ser Clarence Crabb. Interestingly, he tells Brienne that they are all good dragon men, up Crackclaw way. They pass the Dyre Den. When Brienne remarks that Dick speaks of Lord Eustace Brune as if he knows him Dick answers that he might have, once.

Dick leads Brienne to the ruined castle called the Whispers. Before entering the castle Brienne gives Dick her sword and unsheathes Oathkeeper. The fool that Dick had sold the map to turns out to be Shagwell of the Brave Companions, with his companions, Timeon and Pyg. Dick points out that Shagwell was the fool he sold the map to. Shagwell soon kills Dick by smashing his face with his morningstar. A fight ensues and Brienne kills the other two sellswords. She makes Shagwell dig a grave for Dick. Once the grave is finished, as she anticipated, Shagwell attempts to kill Brienne with a jagged chunk of rock, but fails and she slays him with a dagger, avenging Dick. Brienne then tosses two gold dragons down into Dick’s grave. When Pod asks her why she did that she explains to him that it was the reward she promised him for finding her the fool.[3]
